Liontamer Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi, this is my second attempt with the Team Rocket source, and I figured Id go with producing more of a groove with it. Ive focused on making the mix more cohesive than my previous stuff....well, here it is: Contact Info Remixer Name: Dr. Rod Real Name: Rod Turpin EMail Address: LightningRT@gmail.com User ID: 19945 Source Info System: Game Boy Game: Pokemon R/B/Y Song: Team Rocket Hideout Remix Info Remix Title: Basement Funk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Lots of thick sounds, not much cohesion between the instruments and drums. You have some interesting ideas. I liked what you did around 2:10. If it was produced better that'd probably come across sounding pretty neat. As it is though, you have a funky (but LOUD) groove, and not much else going on around it. Needs much more work. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 No submissions should be over 192kbps, so please do not submit something at 207kbps. http://www.zophar.net/gbs/pokemonb.zip - Track 36 Wow, that's an ugly source tune, I'll say. Interested to see where you go with it. ... Redux. The sound quality was half decent; you've got some meat on the individual sounds, but the texture's still empty. Mallet percussion at :08 sounds a bit flimsy. Synth lead at :18 is barren and ugly on its own. Heh, nice Genesis-style stuff from :25-:27 with the throwback sounds. What the hell is the deal from 1:51-2:01; there's nothing happening, bro. Piano chords starting at 2:18 were definitely swanky (though overly quantized), but the piano chords bled into the mallet percussion (gonna assume vibes), so you need to pay more attention to EQing to separate the parts. The textures here aren't nearly complex enough. The percussion grooves change on occasion, but they generally just drag on with repetition and don't effectively drive the arrangement forward. The composition here's simply not sophisticated and the sounds don't fill up the space well at all, both in the foreground and background. The arrangement drags pretty substantially as a result. Just keep on trying to improve, bro. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'd agree that the writing in general, from the ground up, is akward and sort of spastic. The drums in particular are repetitive and poorly written. There's very little variation in texture, or just musicality in general. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
